Band On The Wall
Mr Scruff Keep It Unreal

As always, Scruff takes on a marathon set, serving up a melting pot of jazz, soul, hip hop, funk, disco, deep house, reggae, afrobeat, latin, and plenty of goodies that don’t fit into any category. “This is a non-mobile disco. Please don’t use cameras and phones on the dancefloor. We ask this because we want the dancefloor to be a place where everyone can be in the moment. If you’re tweeting, texting, bidding for a pair of socks on eBay or taking a picture of your friends, you’re not only out of the moment, you also might be making it hard for someone else to be in the moment. The bar or balcony is a much better place for this.” Not sure you need to know much more about a Scruff night at Band On The Wall…just go if you can get in.
